Chapter 9

"Although the Golden Chenyi is a treasure, I can easily pierce it with a single finger," Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "These are all external things. You are destined to achieve great success in the divine and demonic body cultivation. The strongest aspect of the divine and demonic beings is their own bodies. What you need to do is to try to tap into your own potential and bring out your full strength."

"Uh-huh." Ji Ning nodded solemnly.

"Having divine and demonic body cultivation, you will be stronger, faster, your eyes will see farther, your ears will hear more clearly, and even your body's recovery ability will be astonishing!" Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "You need to convert these into powerful abilities..."

"First, you need a weapon!" Ji Yichuan said, "Your strength is ten times greater than your opponent's, but a single arrow from a distance can kill you. This is the power of weapons."

"Second, you need to be skilled in using weapons. For example, a swordsman, even without any internal energy, can still achieve the second realm of sword practice, 'man and sword as one.' When facing an opponent with a strong internal energy who doesn't know how to use weapons, a single thrust can easily pierce their throat. After all, even a person with strong internal energy cannot resist the sharpness of a sword!" Ji Yichuan spoke slowly.

Ji Ning, of course, understood these principles.

A strong but foolish giant would die in a single encounter with a skilled short-sword assassin!

A strong body is just one aspect, while technique determines how much of your potential can be unleashed! In the world of his previous life, the physical attributes of top athletes in boxing and kickboxing were all similar, and what really mattered was technique and combat strategy.

"Tell me, what do you want to learn?" Ji Yichuan looked at his son.

"Ning'er, think carefully," Wei Chixue also looked at her son.

In fact, they had already planned for their son... After all, in their view, their son was too young, and even if he was smart from a young age, how much could he really understand? But they still asked him, so he would learn to think for himself, and then they would share their thoughts, allowing him to understand the differences.

"I want to learn three things," Ji Ning suddenly spoke.

"First, I want to learn archery!" Ji Ning said.

Since he was following the path of divine and demonic body cultivation, he would have astonishing vision and immense strength. Of course, he should use a bow and arrow... With the strength of a divine and demonic being, the arrows would be supersonic, and their power would be far more terrifying than the heavy sniper rifles of his previous life. He could attack enemies from a distance, and according to the books he had read, learning archery was not too difficult.

"Second, I want to learn swordsmanship, with two swords!" Ji Ning said.

The Ji family was most skilled in swordsmanship!

His father, Ji Yichuan, was known as the 'Dripping Water Sword.' With such excellent resources, he naturally had to learn swordsmanship!

"Two swords?" Ji Yichuan frowned, "Go on."

"Third, I want to learn lightness techniques and methods for escaping." Ji Ning said, "That's it."

When facing a strong enemy, you need to be able to escape!

Only with strong survival skills can you live longer, and living longer means more possibilities.

Wei Chixue smiled, "What Ning'er said is generally correct, but I think you should focus on a single sword... There are no dual-sword experts in the entire Ji family. Swordsmanship requires complete focus, and you must concentrate your mind on a single sword to achieve great success."

"Your mother is right," Ji Yichuan also looked at his son.

"Father, Mother, I can multitask from a young age," Ji Ning looked up at his parents. He couldn't explain the Nuwa Diagram, so he had to attribute it to his natural ability.

"What!"

"Multitask?"

Ji Yichuan and Wei Chixue were shocked.

"Do you know what multitasking means?" Ji Yichuan said sternly, "It's not just being distracted while doing something, but thinking about two things simultaneously without any interference."

"I can really multitask," Ji Ning said.

"Then try it," Ji Yichuan's eyes gleamed, and he flipped his hand to reveal two grayish-white stones, "Use these two stones to write on the ground. Write your mother's name with your left hand and my name with your right hand, at the same time!"

"Yes, Father," Ji Ning nodded.

Ji Ning held the two grayish-white stones, which felt similar to limestone from his previous life, and started writing with both hands. The stones were very comfortable to use.

Swish! Swish!

Both hands wrote effortlessly, using the ancient and complex pictographic script of this world. One hand wrote 'Ji Yichuan,' and the other wrote 'Wei Chixue.' The strokes were perfectly neat and easy.

"Ning'er, you..." Wei Chixue was stunned.

"This..." Ji Yichuan was also amazed.

"No wonder, no wonder you can cultivate the 'Chi Ming Nine Heavens Diagram' so quickly," Ji Yichuan said slowly, "It turns out my son's soul is so powerful that he can multitask!"

Ji Yichuan looked at his son, as if seeing a rare gem, and was extremely excited, "I have only achieved the ability to multitask after years of cultivation. But I was always focused on a single sword... My mind was set! The path was hard to change! But my son can multitask from a young age... This is a natural talent for using dual swords. Two swords are like two people attacking, and these two people are in perfect sync, making the enemy feel like they are facing two opponents, and their strength is multiplied tenfold!"

"Starting tomorrow, I will personally teach you swordsmanship!" Ji Yichuan said to his son.

...

The next morning.

The dense primordial energy made the world misty, and Ji Ning was already brought to the training ground by his father.

"Ji Ning," Ji Yichuan looked at his son and pointed to a bearded man in animal skins, "This is the first archer of the Western Manor of our Ji family, Meng Yu. His archery skills are extremely high. Meng Yu, show this young man what you can do."

"Yes," Meng Yu replied respectfully.

Ji Yichuan walked to the four stone grinding wheels placed in front, each weighing hundreds of pounds. He casually picked up one and threw it far away, then picked up another and threw it. In a moment, all four grinding wheels were flying through the air, like four cannonballs, quickly becoming black dots in the sky.

"Ha!" Meng Yu suddenly held a dark black bow, with four arrows in his hand. He drew the bowstring.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The four arrows, gleaming with silver light, disappeared in a flash, catching up to the black dots. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The four black dots vanished completely.

Ji Ning was dumbfounded.

He was stunned for a long time...

"Father threw stone grinding wheels, each weighing hundreds of pounds, over a kilometer away, like cannonballs!" Ji Ning was amazed, "Meng Yu's arrows, in the blink of an eye, in less than a second, reached over a kilometer away. If we calculate the speed... the arrows must have been traveling at least two kilometers per second."

"According to legend, the great archer Hou Yi once shot nine arrows, killing nine golden crows," Meng Yu laughed, "This is just a minor skill for me."

"Meng Yu Master, won't the broken stone grinding wheels fall and hurt people?" Ji Ning suddenly asked.

Ji Yichuan shook his head, "Ning'er, your Master Meng Yu is a先天灵体 (xian tian ling ti, a spirit born before heaven), and he infuses true essence into the arrows. When they hit the stone grinding wheels, they turn them into powder, which falls gently... They won't hurt anyone."

Ji Ning was secretly amazed.

Impressive.

"Starting today, you will practice archery with Master Meng Yu every morning for an hour," Ji Yichuan said, "This will be part of your morning cultivation, Meng Yu, I'll leave it to you."

"It is an honor to teach the young master," Meng Yu laughed.

Ji Yichuan nodded and turned to leave.

The entire training ground was quiet, with only Meng Yu and Ji Ning, and no servants around.

"Young master," Meng Yu looked at Ji Ning, "For an archer, the bow and arrows are very important. Arrows consist of the arrowhead, arrow shaft, and arrow feathers, while the bow is mainly made up of the bow body and bowstring. Arrows can be mass-produced, but bows are precious!"

"Bows come in two types."

"The first type is made of a flexible bow body and a resilient bowstring. When you draw the bow, the bow body bends, and the energy is stored in the bow body, producing elasticity. This is the most common and relatively simple type of bow, which is easy to make and generally used by ordinary archers."

"The second type is made of a tough bow body and a flexible bowstring. When you draw the bow, the bow body remains stable, and the bowstring is stretched to store energy, producing tremendous elasticity, like the bow I have in my hand."

Meng Yu handed the dark black bow to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning reached out to take the ancient and simple bow, feeling its weight, which was over a hundred pounds. He examined it closely. The bow body was made of a dark metal, very shiny. The bowstring was about the thickness of a finger, greenish, and exuded a terrifying aura.

"The bow body is made of Wind and Thunder Iron
